Matthew 6:33-34
Tend the garden continuously. Garden work is never finished. God continuously puts effort and work into us. Deep watering is necessary for gardens to survive.
Weeds vary from shallow roots to deep roots: from small sins to large sins. God digs deep to destroy the roots, He uproots them, though it brings pain, it also brings forgiveness.
Are there weeds in the garden of your life that threaten to overwhelm you? Are troubles threatening to choke you? Are they stealin your sense of balance and peace? Are you in need of richer spiritual nutrients?
God uses His Word to show and locate sin. We need to receive it with humility and faith.This also goes with one of the topics at Bible Study I went to tonight. We talked about Ephesians 5 and how the part that gets soo over looked is the part that says don't let fowl language come out of your mouths, don't speak dirty jokes. This can also mean don't think them. wow...we need to receive this sin with humility and faith. Faith that God will help us work through it and fix it. It also talked about exposing evil doings, not only in ourselves, but in those around us. Let's be accountable for one another and be honest about the sins. Some may not even know they are doing it until someone tells them.
